An OIL Tank Fired by lightning.

FRANKLIN, Pa, Aug S.-A terrible
storm, amounting almost to a cyclone, passed
over this city Friday night, doing vast
amount of damage. The western part of the
city was inundated. A 15,OO0-barrel tank Of
oil, belonging to the Eclipse Oil company,
was fired by flash of lightning and for a
time threatened tho destruction of the entire
oil works-the largest in the world. The
burning oil formed pool against the tracks
of the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio, and
the Lake Shore railway tracks, delaying all
trains. The loss by fire will reach go, 900.
Hugh Porter, a fireman, was accidentally hit
on the head by hose wrench and fatally in
jured James Garfield and Henry Whaley
were badly burned lad had their legs
broken. Michael Kinner and several others
were seriously injured. The fire was gotten
under control at 3 o'clock Saturday after

Extinct Craters in New Mexico.

The reported volcanic eruption in
Arizona makes recent conversation with
ex-senator Dorsey, of New Mexico, of
timely interest. In talking about the
mountain ranges the senator said: ''There
are evidences clear and distinct through
out New Mexico and Arizona of numerous
volcanic eruptions in the past. On the
plateaus the signs are not so distinct as
they are in tracing the formation down
the sides of the mountains. The plateaus
have become fertile and the evidences of
volcanic eruptions have been destroyed,
but you can trace the lava as it flowed
down the mountain sides, and at the bot
tom, where it cooled and has formed into
rock, the signs are very clear. There are
scores of these extinct craters within a
few miles of my ranch, and they are
dotted all over the mountains in this Sec
ton. New York Tribune.

The Latest in Cameras.

It is the latest form of the detective
camera-that which counterfeits neat
little hand sachel in appearance-that is
the usual favorite just now, with women
as with men. The machine can be had
scarcely larger than the usual handker-
chief receptacle, the size of the plate it
carries being much less Of an object than
it used to be, since the recent perfection
of the enlargement processes by perma-
nent bromide prints. For tourists, and in
all cases where the baggage is an object,
the smaller the plate the better, and the
best pictures can afterward be enlarged at
home. The detective Is focused and sprung
on the instant, and is so quick In its action
that have seen clear picture of the bed
of q mountain brook--a much more diff
cult feat than photographing an object
which is itself moving-caught from the
window Of q train at full speed. Eliza

The Low Voiced Barber.

There are talkative BARRIERS, but they
soon find their level in five cent shops,
where the barb i al always -seyesssA cuts
above his customers. The average barber
I have found to be a cool, collected person,
soft of hand and foot, low in voice and
chary of speech. Of course he will talk if
you will, but you have only to keep your
mouth shut and close your eyes and he
will shave you in deathly silence. Yet he
is very entertaining, providing you don't
tempt him on finance, politics or any other
subject of which he knows nothing. Get
him to talk about himself and he can talk
readily and well.-Philadelph Call.

Steam Heat in Railway Cars.

The Engineering News, in the course OF
an able article on the substitution of steam
heat for stove heat in railway cars, shows
that no more than 12 to 1-2 per cent.
of the locomotives supply of steam is re-
quired for heating the average train. 1t
adds that this quantity can be obtained
without reducing the load, increasing the
heat surface, decreasing the speed, or de-
creasing the loss by radiation. 1t is only
necessary to push the fires little when
the locomotive is on a level or down a
grade and to use steam that can be spared
while the train is resting at stations.-

leaned little too much to one side, and as a
result the boat careened and Miss Page was
thrown headlong into very deep water. As
